Panic! at the Disco: Dying in LA (Review)
The tearjerker of this album is Dying in LA as Urie sings about birth and how as people we are lifted up and that we are only faced with reality as you grow older. The slow and steady piano helps you connect to the story, performers all go to LA and every face you pass is just another face in the crowd, no one will know you or know when you are suffering. LA is a place to hold high hopes but for many you die before you get there. Brendon Urie’s voice leaves you wanting more when he sings with such raw emotion.
You can’t help but reflect on your life and the things that have led you there. Could you have done more? Could you be/do better? Is there anything I can do to not die unhappy? Though this sounds like a simple song, it isn’t.
Urie sings with a level of raw unexplainable pain that connects me to a moment that I’ve latched onto. This may not be the same for you but in the three minutes and forty-nine seconds you can’t help but disappear to your thoughts.
